Your January 2017 Sex Horoscope, Revealed

Each month, we're spilling what (and who) will be going down in your love life. Read on as Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology, gives it to you straight.

January might seem like the perfect time to binge watch The Crown by yourself—but that's not quite what the stars have in store. At the start of 2017, Venus, the the planet of love and romance, will spend the majority of the month near creative Pisces. That means you should get ready for some exciting date nights—perfect for super-steamy post-date sex. Take your partner in crime (or hot Tinder date) to see a concert, play, or any other activity that stimulates your mind and some serious conversation.

It's also the perfect time to plan or go on a romantic vacay with bae (or yourself). If a tropical destination isn't in your budget, plot a staycation full of craft cocktails, bubble baths, or even just Netflix and chillin'. No matter what you do, the goddess of love will turn up the heat in your relationship. BRB, candle shopping at Costco.

ARIES (March 21–April 19)

This month, you may find yourself fantasizing about what you think your sex life should be like and who it should be with. You'll likely feel a pull between wanting a fulfilling relationship and the amount of time you spend working toward your boss-lady goals.

Around Friday the 13th, day-dreaming about your dream lover will intensify. Let that sexual fantasy marinate for the next week or so until the 20th or 21st of the month. That's the perfect time to act on it by asking out that hot guy in accounting or striking up a friends-with-benefits relationship with your sexy guy friend. By the 28th, Mars moves into Aries, and you’ll feel more comfortable asking for what you want in the bedroom. Get after it, girl.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

Intimacy and friendship are deeply intertwined this month for you, Taurus. If you have a close friendship with relationship potential, now is the time to decide whether to cross that line. And if you decide he or she is more than a friend, there's a solid chance that he (or she) is fantasizing about you, too. Bow chika wow wow. Mull that decision over between the 7th and 8th. If you're ready to go for it, bring the idea up by talking it out or spider monkey-ing him on the 15th or 16th. These days mid-month are the perfect time spark up a new romance.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20)

Get ready for a month of sweet, sweet fantasies, baby—especially about that office hookup you're eyeing. Whether you got your flirt on at the holiday party last month or reconnected with your old work husband, it's fair to say that a work-related hottie has a thing for you. Whether you see this office affair as a steamy story to tell your girlfriends or the start of a serious relationship, the universe says you need to make it clear what you want—otherwise you're going to waste a lot of time. Overall, January is a great month for your love life, Gem.

CANCER (June 21–July 22)

Two big things are happening in your sex and love life, Cancer. First, if you're currently attached, you'll start considering whether your relationship is really a 50/50 partnership. You might have noticed lately that you've been giving way too much of yourself to make your partner happy, and you're not getting anything in return. Not cool. Work with your partner around the 11th and 12th, when Venus and the moon are both in your sign, to find a balance of give and take. On a lighter note, this is the month to take a sexy getaway or plan one for the near future. Adult spring break, here you come!

LEO (July 23–August 22)

Woah baby, get ready for some deep intimacy this month. While you'll be more willing to go for the gold to please your partner in the bedroom this month, let your partner know that you need some special attention, too. When you feel pampered and appreciated, Leo, you'll score a one-way ticket to pleasuretown. If you're not cared for, your guard goes up. And that's bad news for your sex life. This month, focus on opening your heart and communicating what you want—you’ll miss out if you expect him to read your mind.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22)

We know you've got high standards, Virgo, but it's important to ask yourself whether you're being realistic about your expectations. And that's true whether you're with someone or just swiping left through Tinder. If you're the latter, January is a great month to start looking for someone new. Just keep in mind that no human will live up to your fantasy of the perfect sex partner—everyone has their faults! If you can remember that, you'll definitely have a steamy 2017.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22)

January is a month of adjustments for Libras. So if certain areas of your love life feel off-balance, now is the perfect time to make changes. That could mean getting back in sync with your partner in bed, or rethinking your go-to masturbation move that’s just not working for you anymore. Once you tweak your sex agenda, things will start to feel perfectly balanced, just how you like it. Another tip for a sexier sex life: Ask for what you want in relationships and in bed. While you don't like to rock the boat, explaining what's on your mind will help you experience greater intimacy.

If you’re looking to hook up with someone new, showing your romantic side and getting mushy will go over well.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Live your best sex life this month, Scorpio. January is going to be an incredible month for you in the bedroom if you just go after whoever or whatever you’ve been dreaming about. Get after it!

If you’re in a relationship, it's time to ask for your exact specifications in the sack. Share that kinky fantasy you’ve been mulling over with your partner—you’ll get it, and then some.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

January is a month of fresh starts, and that's especially true for you. Sagittarius, now is the time to try out something—or someone—new. If you're single, plan a date night for the 11th or 12th (or both!). Later this month, on the 21st and 22nd, you'll also want to make plans with the same person or someone else you've been eyeing.

If you're attached, plan a few chill nights between the 11th and 12th or the 21st and 22nd. They'll lead to much more than you expected.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19)

January is a month of communication for Capricorns. Whether you just started dating someone or are in a LTR, telling your partner what you need when it comes to your sex life and/or relationship will take your bond to the next level.

In addition to communicating with your words, getting chatty via texts, photos, and (obvi) sexts will be especially productive this month. Hey, it might even be the perfect time to give phone sex a go. No judgment.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18)

While you enjoy trying a lot of things in the bedroom all the damn time, now is when you should focus on your greatest hits for maximum pleasure. We know bondage is fun and taking a stab at the butter churner can be a rush, but just put those on the backburner for now.

If you’re in a relationship, try to find a move you both can't get enough of to heat things up even more. January is also a great time to give yourself some love (especially self-love). Take a steamy solo shower once or twice this month (at least) to find a balance between sexual enjoyment with your partner and yourself.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Good news if you're on the hunt for a partner in crime: Venus, the planet of love and relationships, is in your sign for much of the month. Take advantage of it by putting yourself out there. The odds are that you'll find romance—even if it's just for the night.

You can be passive in the bedroom, Pisces, but let your inner dominatrix out this month. Getting a little more aggressive in bed by calling the shots or even dabbling in spanking will get you what you want—and then some.
